Description

The kisut-faig-ikani npm package is part of a malicious campaign linked to tea.xyz token rewards. It contains autopublish scripts that automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names. The payload modifies package.json files to remove private flags, alter version numbers, and create Indonesian-themed or English package names. This behavior results in continuous republishing of variants, polluting the npm registry with numerous malicious packages.

Impact

The malicious package pollutes the npm registry by continuously publishing numerous derivative packages with randomized names. This can degrade the quality and trustworthiness of the npm ecosystem and potentially mislead developers relying on these packages. There is no direct evidence of exploitation or compromise of end-user systems described in the data.

Defensive guidance

Users and maintainers should avoid installing or depending on packages related to this campaign. Registry maintainers should consider removing these malicious packages to prevent ecosystem pollution. Monitoring for and blocking autopublish scripts of this nature can help mitigate the threat.

Summary

This threat involves the kisut-faig-ikani npm package, which is associated with the tea.xyz token reward campaign. The package includes autopublish scripts (e.g., auto.js, autopublish.js) that automate the creation and publication of derivative npm packages with randomized names. The malicious code modifies package.json by removing private flags and changing version numbers to facilitate repeated publication. The generated package names are often Indonesian-themed or in English. This activity floods the npm registry with numerous variants, aiming to inflate developer reputation scores within the tea protocol token ecosystem.
